My regulator or water heater has never been replaced, since we bought it in '05, it's an '02. Likely to be aged, but is only used a few times a year, which maybe could be part of the problem also I suppose.
I did NOT verify the position of the thermocouple over the flow of gas from the pilot however, that I will check, but would that also explain the pilot not staying lit as well?
I don't believe I have an ECO on my model as it has no electrical components. The unit is strictly manually lit and there is no reset. I have not replaced the anode as well, I have only discovered I needed to upon this issue arising.
Very helpful, thank you
Things that will shut off pilot when button released:
A weak thermocouple will drop pilot flame out------replace
A weak magnet in gas control valve will drop out pilot....replace gas control valve
A tripped ECO
The 3 things above will drop pilot flame when button released/turned to ON
And YES you have an ECO.
Like I explained it is the large probe that sticks out,,,....nevermind.
